I reviewed your post and I understand that the ESC key is getting pressed automatically.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

Have you checked whether the ESC key is pressed or stuck?

Meanwhile, I recommend you uninstall keyboard driver from device manager and then restart the computer and check if it helps.

Here is how it is done.

1. Type "Device Manager" into the search field to open the device manager console.
2. Expand the node that represents the type of device that you want to uninstall, right-click the device entry, and click Uninstall.
3. On the Confirm Device Removal dialog box, click OK to start the uninstall process.
4. When the uninstall process is complete, remove the device.

NOTE: On the Confirm Device Removal dialog box, click the Delete the driver software for this device option to delete the driver package that was used for the device.

If you continue facing the issue, then perform a test on the keyboard following the steps in the below article.
